>> there are two ways to read obama's behavior, neither one is flattering to obama. obama is a bunkler, habitually pushes for tax increases, doesn't know how to close a deal. that's an obvious interpretation. does obama-care that much if he got a deal? does debt help him in some way because obama has been so promiscuous and reckless about spending, running up the debt, 5 trillion in the first term, if he ran another 5 trillion in the second term, the national debt would be 20 trillion dollars and he would be responsible for half of that. i almost wonder if debt serves a purpose for obama. >> let me come back to that. woodward says at one point there is no adult supervision in the white house. very interesting. do you agree with denesh at the end of the day, president obama doesn't really care, run up the debt and spend more. is that his strategy, deliberate ly sabotage the debt deal last year? >> let's look at the evidence. the question who cared about closing the deal. according to woodward's reporting, the president put out a counselor offer, called it to john boeh

why is obama continuing this falsehood? >> he can say whatever he wants to and all the media will talk about is how sexy he is on "the view". >> you would not get this kid glove treatment with jimmy carter. and lucky, new yorkers learned their lesson the second time around. they voted for giuliani and look at how the city has changed. it has always been a disaster. and you feel that is the issue right now among the major media? >> i mean they should be guilty because they are democrats and the history of civil rights are black people and republicans fighting democrats. >> can we stop there? yoo my limited history is that it is the republican party going back to reconstruction that tried to lead the way for black representation in congress and later on the clock turns. >> for five minutes. >> and then it is the 60s and the the 70s with the crazy southern democrats. >> it is so awful. they pass the 14th and 15th amendment and throughout the 20s and 30s and 40s. every republican platform included calls for anti-lynching ledgis
